NEW13 curator, Charlotte Day selected seven artists from Melbourne, Sydney and Perth to make new commissions for ACCA’s distinctive spaces. The mix of projects included video and film, sculpture, architectural intervention, computer programming, sound works, and performance. At a time when an appetite for spectacle often drives the display of contemporary art in the gallery context, Day purposely sought out a much quieter and more reflective group of projects that found meaning and poetry in the interstices. NEW13 demonstrated the myriad ways that artists engage with ideas through materials and, at times, the immaterial.
